Intel is a strong supporter of OpenCL™ software technology. The Intel SDK for OpenCL Applications is a comprehensive development environment for developing and optimizing OpenCL applications on Intel® platforms, and part of an increasingly rich portfolio of Intel tools for heterogeneous programming. The SDK supports offloading compute-intensive parallel workloads to Intel® Graphics Technology using an advanced compiler for OpenCL kernels, runtime debugger, and code performance analyzer. The SDK and driver and run-time packages are installed separately.

Innovate new features for competitive advantage together with other complimentary software tools (Intel® System Studio, Intel® Media SDK, and OpenVINO™ toolkit) and libraries.

Increase Productivity and Efficiency

Perform custom development across multiple hardware types. While not performance portable, it reduces development learning time for new hardware to days, as compared to months for hardware-specific stacks.

Use the OpenCL application to extend pipelines written using the Intel Media SDK and OpenVINO toolkit with your custom algorithms.

Optimize system performance and power with analyzers in Intel System Studio, such as Intel® VTune™ Amplifier.
